I debated leaving a message but I couldn't think of anything to say. Maybe the message will become pertinent if we find something out along the way. Almost like a "Press 8 to speak directly to a customer service representative." feature that companies use for their cust. service.

I just tried this on my phone, and nothing disappeared. Might be a coding flaw, but I wouldn't disregard it either. Sorry for double post; too annoying to add this into my other post.

About the number of planets in the Union, I asked Akuma to name the planets in the Union and he said this:
Quote:
There are far too many to name, or do you mean the thirteen governed worlds that have a seat on the council?

Jumping in! I got the same Horizon Industries email earlier. Wasn't following this so I google'd before going here to find out it's an arg (yay!) I found a profile page of Dale Williams from aiim.org . The description mentions horizonindustries.org Is this related?

Pretty sure it's unrelated: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dale-williams/7/263/b1b?_mSplash=1 http://www.linkedin.com/company/horizon-industries-limited?trk=ppro_cprof&_mSplash=1
Perhaps that little Virginia consulting firm used to have that url.

I'm not getting any disappearing text, either. I tried it in Opera, Firefox, and IE, so it's probably just a glitchy coding error.

The image appears to be a gas mask of sorts.

I just called the number. Didn't leave a message. Messaged Mr. Hale about us recieving Horizon recruitment propoganda, but I'm guessing that sort of thing is "standard" for this world, so probably nothing to worry about.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

An aegis ( /ˈiːdʒɨs/; Ancient Greek: αἰγίς) is a large collar or cape worn in ancient times to display the protection provided by a high religious authority or the holder of a protective shield signifying the same, such as a bag-like garment that contained a shield

I've also received the email regarding jobs on Atlas, but have yet to decide if I'll call the number.

So, from what I've seen, it looks like Horizon has two major parts: they provide technology to allow interstellar business, and they also act as a security firm for Earth. Assuming that Earth is part of the Union, it sounds like they've probably been hired by whatever governmental agency rules the Union to protect... something. Granted, this is all assuming a separation between government and commerce, which may not be the case, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I'm also intrigued by the Citizen's Guide at the footer of each page. I wonder if we can get a digital copy of that from someone? I'm going to ask Hale, and I'll upload it somewhere if I do.

Your guide to the few restrictions and regulations in place to keep you safe and secure. Each household should have at least one copy of the Citizens Guide to Censoship and Security. Free guides can be acquired at your local Aegis security station.


Remember: Aegis patrols assume you have read this guide, and for your safety, they will consider those who haven't a threat.




My initial thought was to find the Aegis security website...but after reading that last sentence, finding someone ( like Hale) underground may work out better

Finally made an account to get in on this. Sent away an email about employment to Horizon, and called the number. I am thinking about sending an email requesting another guidebook copy under the premise that mine was "destroyed". Google Searches for Aegis Security runs up a number of sites, all seem to be legit, real world security. Will keep searching.

I got a reply from Akamu today

Quote:
Hello again, friend.

Thank you for your promise. It means very much to me. Your feelings on Horizon are shared throughout the Union, however, many choose to ignore the truth and remain apathetic to your situation.

I can only hope that my decision will open the eyes of those who have been blinded by their lies.


I replied to him telling him about the job offer from Horizon and what if I should take the job and infiltrate them from the inside.

He responded really fast with:

Quote:
An interesting proposal, friend.

What is the job opportunity? Does Horizon typically have non-children join their ranks?



So Horizon is into child slavery?

Ask what his defination of non-children is. To them, a child may be someone under the age of 100 years old

and yes....I have seen waaayyy too many sci-fi movies Very Happy

I sent Hale a copy of the flyer we got from Horizon, this was his response:

Quote:
Interesting. My assumption is this is simply another resource-gathering operation. Note the small text; it looks as if it could be difficult to obtain this position over current employees. I'm not saying your plan won't work, but it will indeed be difficult.
